The Calvin and Jean Long Distinguished Lecture in Mathematics brings internationally renowned mathematics scholars to the WSU campus to discuss research and current topics. A public lecture geared toward community members and members without a deep mathematical background is paired with a more in-depth colloquium with faculty and students. The lecture honors Calvin Long, professor emeritus (1956–92) and former department chair (1970–78) and his wife, Jean. This year’s Long Lecture titled “Functional Neuroimaging in the Era of Big
Data and Open Science” will be delivered by Dr. Nicole Lazar. Dr. Lazar is a Professor and Department Head of the Pennsylvania State University Department of Statistics.
